Styling
There isn’t a lot to distinguish the Mazda Tribute from the Ford Escape except the front grill. The exterior redesign of the Tribute wasn’t that extensive from the original because the basic platform is unchanged from its introduction eight years ago. The interior styling duplicates the Ford. On our test vehicle, the color scheme was black and a pale yellow color akin to cheap margarine. It’s blander than if it had been all black, and the light color on the seats ensures that they’ll be visibly dirty before the first oil change. Luckily there’s a solid slate gray upholstery option.
